[ Man Narrating ]
Stories of immortality.

00:00:05,465 --> 00:00:09,260
When he arose, it would be a body
that would never die again.
3
00:00:10,094 --> 00:00:13,348
The dead rising from their graves.
4
00:00:13,431 --> 00:00:16,267
You can say that to a certain extent,
zombies are real.
5
00:00:16,351 --> 00:00:20,438
And first-person accounts
of the afterlife.
6
00:00:21,523 --> 00:00:25,276
The ancient Egyptians had
a very deep, soul technology.
7
00:00:26,152 --> 00:00:30,573
Throughout history, there are tales
of miraculous resurrections...
8
00:00:31,533 --> 00:00:35,453
but are there people who have really
returned from the dead?
9
00:00:35,537 --> 00:00:41,501
And if so, might they have had help
from extraterrestrial beings?
10
00:00:41,584 --> 00:00:46,047
If you want to think of the technology
that extraterrestrials might have...
11
00:00:46,130 --> 00:00:50,593
they could have the ability
to resurrect the dead, if need be.
12
00:00:51,636 --> 00:00:56,224
Millions of people around the world
believe we have been visited in the past...
13
00:00:56,307 --> 00:00:58,268
by extraterrestrial beings.
14
00:00:58,351 --> 00:01:00,895
What if it were true?
15
00:01:01,854 --> 00:01:06,109
Did ancient aliens really help
to shape our history?
16
00:01:07,151 --> 00:01:12,156
And if so, might they hold
the secret to resurrection?

00:01:44,856 --> 00:01:46,608
[ Narrator] Phoenix, Arizona...
19
00:01:47,358 --> 00:01:48,860
1991.
20
00:01:50,945 --> 00:01:54,949
Singer/songwriter Pam Reynolds
is being rushed into surgery...
21
00:01:55,033 --> 00:01:58,411
to repair a bulging arterial wall
in her brain stem...
22
00:01:58,494 --> 00:02:02,540
that is about to burst
and kill her instantly.
23
00:02:04,125 --> 00:02:05,960
[Beeping]
24
00:02:06,044 --> 00:02:11,799
The surgical team of 20 decides
there is only one course of action:
25
00:02:11,883 --> 00:02:16,137
In order to save her life,
they must first end it.
26
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:18,097
[Continuous Beeping]
27
00:02:19,766 --> 00:02:24,812
Pam Reynolds had a massive aneurysm ready
to essentially rupture at any moment...
28
00:02:26,105 --> 00:02:29,067
and so physicians needed to reduce
the pressure in those vessels...
29
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:30,902
so that they could work on them.
30
00:02:30,985 --> 00:02:35,657
So they took blood out of her body
and cooled it slowly, so recirculating.
31
00:02:36,324 --> 00:02:39,452
What that does is, it sort of tricks
the body's cells...
32
00:02:39,535 --> 00:02:43,873
into slowing down their metabolism and not
realizing that they're lacking oxygen...
33
00:02:44,499 --> 00:02:48,419
which, of course, buys physicians
and emergency workers some time...
34
00:02:48,503 --> 00:02:52,632
to go in and repair the person's body while
they're in a sort of hyper-cooled state...
35
00:02:52,715 --> 00:02:55,093
where they're essentially not alive.
36
00:02:56,010 --> 00:03:00,306
[ Narrator ] For nearly an hour,
Pam Reynolds lies on the operating table...
37
00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:03,935
with her heart stopped,
no blood pumping through her body...
38
00:03:04,018 --> 00:03:07,271
and no brain-wave activity at all.
39
00:03:07,355 --> 00:03:10,149
According to the traditional
medical definition...
40
00:03:10,233 --> 00:03:12,193
she is dead.
41
00:03:13,444 --> 00:03:18,574
Five hours later, when doctors successfully
finished their groundbreaking surgery...
42
00:03:18,658 --> 00:03:22,912
they slowly pump warm blood
back into Reynolds's body.
43
00:03:22,995 --> 00:03:25,540
Her heart starts to beat again...
44
00:03:25,623 --> 00:03:28,584
and her brain stem begins
responding to stimuli.
45
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:34,757
But when she regains consciousness,
Reynolds tells a shocking story...
46
00:03:34,841 --> 00:03:38,678
about a journey she says she made
into the afterlife.
47
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:47,603
She remembers mingling with deceased
relatives and angelic beings...
48
00:03:47,687 --> 00:03:49,647
in a celestial netherworld-
49
00:03:51,065 --> 00:03:57,113
a transcendent experience that ended
only when doctors revived her.
50
00:03:57,905 --> 00:04:00,742
Pam Reynolds's case,
and other cases of resuscitation...
51
00:04:00,825 --> 00:04:03,703
sort of call into question
what it means to be alive.
52
00:04:05,747 --> 00:04:08,249
They were sort of
introducing new technologies...
53
00:04:08,332 --> 00:04:11,919
that were, I think, a little more of the
distinction of what does it mean to be dead.
54
00:04:12,003 --> 00:04:13,296
[Monitor Beeping]
55
00:04:13,379 --> 00:04:16,841
If you want to use the term “resurrection,”
I think it could be applied in that case.
56
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:21,429
[ Narrator]
Does the resurrection of Pam Reynolds...
57
00:04:21,512 --> 00:04:26,017
reveal evidence that human consciousness
can exist beyond death?
58
00:04:27,268 --> 00:04:34,025
If so, could this mean that within each of us there
really is such a thing as an immortal soul...
59
00:04:34,108 --> 00:04:37,487
and might it even be identifiable
by science?
60
00:04:39,113 --> 00:04:42,325
Two prestigious scientists
have developed a theory...
61
00:04:42,408 --> 00:04:46,496
that describes exactly how consciousness
could continue to exist...
62
00:04:46,579 --> 00:04:48,790
after the brain has ceased to function.
63
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:51,834
Oxford University's Roger Penrose...
64
00:04:51,918 --> 00:04:55,505
and Stewart Hameroff
from the University of Arizona...
65
00:04:55,588 --> 00:04:59,300
believe that quantum particles
in the brain and nervous system...
66
00:04:59,383 --> 00:05:02,637
could comprise what we call consciousness.
67
00:05:03,763 --> 00:05:06,933
The theory is that there may actually be...
68
00:05:07,016 --> 00:05:09,685
a real physical structure in your brain.
69
00:05:09,769 --> 00:05:11,646
They're called microtubules...
70
00:05:11,729 --> 00:05:13,815
and they're small enough...
71
00:05:13,898 --> 00:05:18,820
that all the weird
quantum mechanical effects can occur.
72
00:05:18,903 --> 00:05:24,242
These quantum mechanical effects
may be what gives rise to consciousness.
73
00:05:25,576 --> 00:05:31,332
But even after you died,
that information isn't lost.
74
00:05:31,415 --> 00:05:36,045
It still continues
as a quantum mechanical state...
75
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:40,007
and that may be what is giving rise
to consciousness.
76
00:05:42,844 --> 00:05:45,680
[ Narrator]
If Penrose and Hameroff are correct...
77
00:05:45,763 --> 00:05:49,976
and our consciousness can exist
after our physical body dies...
78
00:05:50,059 --> 00:05:54,355
does this explain why near-death
experiences like Pam Reynolds's...
79
00:05:54,438 --> 00:05:58,109
are reported by millions of people
around the world?
80
00:05:59,527 --> 00:06:03,948
They have, usually, a feeling of
peacefulness, positive emotions.
81
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:06,284
They feel like they're leaving their body.
82
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:10,872
They sometimes see sort of a tunnel
with a light at the end.
83
00:06:11,539 --> 00:06:14,750
They sometimes feel
one with the universe.
84
00:06:14,834 --> 00:06:18,963
They sometimes see relatives
who have passed away.
85
00:06:19,046 --> 00:06:22,049
So it's a common, universal experience
that happens to people...
86
00:06:22,133 --> 00:06:24,635
who are either near or close to death...
87
00:06:24,719 --> 00:06:26,512
or even technically dead.
88
00:06:30,057 --> 00:06:32,935
[ Narrator] Some physicians believe
near-death experiences...
89
00:06:33,019 --> 00:06:39,066
could be triggered by hypoxia, a lack of
oxygen in the brain that can cause visions.
90
00:06:40,401 --> 00:06:42,778
But other researchers disagree.
91
00:06:42,862 --> 00:06:45,948
They point out that those
who have these experiences...
92
00:06:46,032 --> 00:06:49,535
see events occurring around them that
are later confirmed to have happened...
93
00:06:49,619 --> 00:06:52,747
and that their perceptions
are not dulled in a way...
94
00:06:52,830 --> 00:06:55,750
that would be consistent
with a dying brain.
95
00:06:57,376 --> 00:06:59,295
Perhaps even more significant...
96
00:06:59,378 --> 00:07:02,506
a recent study found
that the near-death experience...
97
00:07:02,590 --> 00:07:06,177
was remarkably similar
across the ancient world.
98
00:07:07,428 --> 00:07:10,014
Professor Gregory Shushan
at Oxford University...
99
00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:12,767
has found that in some of the great,
early cultures-
100
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:15,186
ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia...
101
00:07:15,269 --> 00:07:19,565
Vedic India, pre-Buddhist China,
pre-Colombian Mesoamerica-
102
00:07:19,649 --> 00:07:23,110
that there are similar reports
of near-death experience...
103
00:07:23,194 --> 00:07:26,113
that certain details keep cropping up-
104
00:07:26,197 --> 00:07:28,574
that the person in this experience...
105
00:07:28,658 --> 00:07:30,576
encounters beings of light...
106
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:34,538
even though the belief systems
about death...
107
00:07:34,622 --> 00:07:36,749
were very different in these cultures.
108
00:07:36,832 --> 00:07:41,545
This suggests that there might be something
about the mystical experience at death...
109
00:07:41,629 --> 00:07:45,800
that is stronger
than the cultural stories that hold it.
110
00:07:47,635 --> 00:07:50,596
[ Narrator] But why are accounts
of near-death experiences...
111
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,517
so similar across so
many different cultures?
112
00:07:55,059 --> 00:07:59,814
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that the answer may lie with the fact...
113
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:04,026
that these beings of light encountered
in many near-death experiences...
114
00:08:04,110 --> 00:08:08,781
are remarkably similar to the descriptions
of extraterrestrials...
115
00:08:08,864 --> 00:08:11,450
in alien abduction reports.
116
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,746
Could these two types
of ethereal entities...
117
00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:17,873
actually be the same?
118
00:08:18,916 --> 00:08:22,044
[Man ] The common ground
is the tunnel of bright white light...
119
00:08:23,421 --> 00:08:26,007
and beings wearing shiny garments...
120
00:08:26,090 --> 00:08:28,259
or bright white garments of light...
121
00:08:28,342 --> 00:08:31,012
that either stand before that gateway...
122
00:08:31,095 --> 00:08:33,347
or are actually in it.
123
00:08:33,431 --> 00:08:36,559
And you have to wonder,
is it possible that in reality...
124
00:08:36,642 --> 00:08:40,271
the afterlife is just another dimension
or another plane of existence...
125
00:08:40,354 --> 00:08:44,650
that is inhabited, that's navigable
and is accessible...
126
00:08:44,734 --> 00:08:46,944
not only by those
in the afterlife realm...
127
00:08:47,028 --> 00:08:50,740
but also by living extraterrestrial beings.
128
00:08:51,782 --> 00:08:56,120
I think that both near-death experiences
and abduction experiences...
129
00:08:56,203 --> 00:08:59,540
are coordinated
by the same higher reality.
130
00:09:01,709 --> 00:09:07,089
[ Narrator] Is it possible that extraterrestrials
hold the secret behind resurrection?
131
00:09:08,049 --> 00:09:10,801
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...
132
00:09:10,885 --> 00:09:13,596
and claim further evidence can be found...
133
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,058
by exploring resurrection stories
from antiquity.
134
00:09:20,644 --> 00:09:22,521
The Kingdom of Israel...
135
00:09:22,605 --> 00:09:24,815
the ninth century BC.
136
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:29,195
In the Hebrew Bible, Elijah is portrayed...
137
00:09:29,278 --> 00:09:32,323
as a great prophet
and a powerful warrior...
138
00:09:32,406 --> 00:09:35,034
who slaughters the followers
of the god Baal...
139
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,955
yet he is perhaps best known
not for putting people to death...
140
00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:43,167
but for bringing them back to life.
141
00:09:44,085 --> 00:09:47,421
In the biblical book I Kings, chapter 17
we actually have the story...
142
00:09:47,505 --> 00:09:49,090
of the prophet Elijah...
143
00:09:49,173 --> 00:09:52,676
who takes a widow's son who had died...
144
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,764
and lays on him three times
and then prays to God...
145
00:09:56,847 --> 00:09:59,100
and the son comes back to life.
146
00:10:01,310 --> 00:10:03,521
Was this a miracle from the hand of God?
147
00:10:03,604 --> 00:10:08,484
Was there some kind
of a medical involvement here?
148
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:13,280
There was some clear
physical intervention...
149
00:10:13,364 --> 00:10:15,199
on behalf of Elijah.
150
00:10:15,282 --> 00:10:17,618
That's all this text tells us.
151
00:10:17,701 --> 00:10:22,957
But we know that Elijah
was a great mystic and esotericist.
152
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,379
He possessed a power cloak, called his
pala-garment, which means “power garment.”
153
00:10:28,462 --> 00:10:30,756
He ultimately ascended into the heavens...
154
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,509
in a whirlwind like a spacecraft
while wearing this...
155
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:38,556
so you have to ask, is there some kind of
otherworldly or extraterrestrial technology...
156
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,433
that Elijah had access to?
157
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,356
[ Narrator]
Ancient astronaut theorists point out...
158
00:10:47,439 --> 00:10:51,277
that similar resurrections occur
in religions around the world...
159
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:54,488
from the Hindu god Krishna...
160
00:10:54,572 --> 00:10:58,242
to the Aztec deity Quetzalcóatl.
161
00:10:58,325 --> 00:11:03,205
They believe these gods may, in fact,
have been extraterrestrial beings...
162
00:11:03,289 --> 00:11:05,666
sent to Earth on a mission.
163
00:11:07,585 --> 00:11:10,337
When you read the stories
of the celestials or extraterrestrials...
164
00:11:10,421 --> 00:11:11,881
that came in the ancient past...
165
00:11:11,964 --> 00:11:14,842
they were always delivering
these forbidden teachings...
166
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:19,680
about crossing that boundary
into a beautiful and glorious realm...
167
00:11:19,763 --> 00:11:21,932
and one of their purposes in coming here...
168
00:11:22,016 --> 00:11:25,603
is to teach us how
to cross over that boundary.
169
00:11:28,105 --> 00:11:32,860
[ Narrator] Is it possible that some ancient
accounts of gods rising from the dead...
170
00:11:32,943 --> 00:11:35,613
are not actually divine events...
171
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:39,992
but rather examples
of extraterrestrial technology?
172
00:11:40,826 --> 00:11:44,371
And if so, are there stories
in which ancient cultures...
173
00:11:44,455 --> 00:11:47,208
regularly performed resurrections?
174
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,295
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe astounding answers...
175
00:11:51,378 --> 00:11:54,840
can be found buried in the Sahara Desert.
176
00:12:02,556 --> 00:12:06,310
Low Earth orbit, September 2007.
177
00:12:08,229 --> 00:12:12,149
An experiment aboard
a Russian Photon-M3 spaceship...
178
00:12:12,233 --> 00:12:17,029
is trying to determine how resurrection
works in the natural world.
179
00:12:18,489 --> 00:12:23,535
It contains dozens of microscopic animals,
called “tardigrades”...
180
00:12:23,619 --> 00:12:26,080
The tardigrades are
a class of organisms...
181
00:12:26,163 --> 00:12:29,458
that we refer to as “extremophiles,”
meaning they can withstand...
182
00:12:29,541 --> 00:12:32,503
extreme stresses
that would kill most organisms.
183
00:12:32,586 --> 00:12:37,091
[ Narrator] On Earth, tardigrades
are almost impossible to kill.
184
00:12:37,174 --> 00:12:39,969
They can survive temperatures
far above boiling...
185
00:12:40,052 --> 00:12:41,845
and far below freezing...
186
00:12:41,929 --> 00:12:44,765
by shedding almost all
water in their cells.
187
00:12:45,849 --> 00:12:48,185
The tardigrade
is a really interesting creature...
188
00:12:48,269 --> 00:12:51,605
and it's actually evolved
to have this amazing ability...
189
00:12:51,689 --> 00:12:55,234
to go into these deep states
of what you might call hibernation.
190
00:12:55,317 --> 00:12:58,195
They're able to survive
in really harsh conditions...
191
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:02,616
but there's still metabolism going on,
just very, very slowed down.
192
00:13:04,535 --> 00:13:06,161
[ Narrator] On this mission...
193
00:13:06,245 --> 00:13:11,709
scientists want to see if they can survive
long blasts of solar radiation...
194
00:13:11,792 --> 00:13:15,671
so they're placed outside the capsule
for 12 days.
195
00:13:16,297 --> 00:13:19,883
They become inert,
but are they actually dead?
196
00:13:19,967 --> 00:13:22,636
[Fisher ] They were brought
back to Earth, hydrated.
197
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,515
We think they also have a really good,
very efficient DNA repair mechanism...
198
00:13:26,598 --> 00:13:29,935
because they essentially come back to life,
often rather rapidly.
199
00:13:30,019 --> 00:13:32,354
Scientists do refer to that
as a resurrection.
200
00:13:35,733 --> 00:13:39,570
[ Narrator ] There's a curious parallel
to the tardigrade in the ancient world-
201
00:13:40,321 --> 00:13:43,615
a dead creature that was preserved
by removing all liquids...
202
00:13:43,699 --> 00:13:45,784
while it awaited resurrection:
203
00:13:47,077 --> 00:13:49,538
Egyptian mummies.
204
00:13:49,621 --> 00:13:51,665
In preparation for the afterlife...
205
00:13:51,749 --> 00:13:54,752
the ancients removed all blood,
water and organs...
206
00:13:54,835 --> 00:13:56,962
from a body they planned to mummify.
207
00:13:58,422 --> 00:14:00,924
In order to preserve a body...
208
00:14:01,008 --> 00:14:05,512
you cannot leave organs in the body
that are going to rot the body...
209
00:14:06,055 --> 00:14:08,807
and the Egyptians learned
that very quickly.
210
00:14:08,891 --> 00:14:11,685
And they knew which organs
had to be removed...
211
00:14:11,769 --> 00:14:14,688
and that the blood
had to be drained from the body...
212
00:14:14,772 --> 00:14:19,109
to preserve the body
for potential resurrection.
213
00:14:24,198 --> 00:14:26,742
[ Narrator ]
If the body was properly prepared...
214
00:14:26,825 --> 00:14:31,205
the Egyptians believed its soul would start
its long and arduous journey...
215
00:14:31,288 --> 00:14:32,873
into the afterlife.
216
00:14:33,874 --> 00:14:35,376
There were a lot of rules.
217
00:14:35,459 --> 00:14:39,338
There was a lot of very specific navigation
that needed to take place...
218
00:14:39,421 --> 00:14:44,385
in order to get your soul from death
into this afterlife.
219
00:14:45,511 --> 00:14:50,057
Sometimes these rules were so difficult
that they would be written down...
220
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:54,686
and oftentimes we find them written
on the insides of the tops of coffins.
221
00:14:55,562 --> 00:14:59,566
[ Henry] At Saqqara is where
we find the Pyramid Texts...
222
00:14:59,650 --> 00:15:02,694
some of the oldest religious texts
in the world.
223
00:15:02,778 --> 00:15:08,283
They're devoted to the concept of how
to not only preserve the human body...
224
00:15:08,367 --> 00:15:11,995
but to prepare the soul
for journeying into the stars.
225
00:15:13,122 --> 00:15:16,041
The ancient Egyptians made it clear
that they were in contact...
226
00:15:16,125 --> 00:15:18,836
with extraterrestrial civilizations...
227
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,965
and in particular, one god, Ptah,
came from Sirius.
228
00:15:23,048 --> 00:15:26,552
Now, Ptah is also the god,
the ancient Egyptians said...
229
00:15:26,635 --> 00:15:30,597
who crafted, or fashioned,
the human body.
230
00:15:30,681 --> 00:15:33,183
He is also the god of technology.
231
00:15:33,892 --> 00:15:35,436
So when you put all this together...
232
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:39,273
it sure sounds like Ptah
taught the ancient Egyptians...
233
00:15:39,356 --> 00:15:41,900
how to resurrect the body...
234
00:15:41,984 --> 00:15:43,485
and travel the cosmos.
235
00:15:46,572 --> 00:15:50,242
[ Narrator] Is it possible,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest...
236
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:53,912
that the Egyptians' complex beliefs
about resurrection...
237
00:15:53,996 --> 00:15:56,373
came from the extraterrestrial beings...
238
00:15:56,457 --> 00:16:00,794
that they believed had visited
their civilization in the past?
239
00:16:00,878 --> 00:16:03,213
It's very possible that when we look
at the Egyptians...
240
00:16:03,297 --> 00:16:06,717
performing their very intricate
mummification process...
241
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,886
this is something
that they might have witnessed.
242
00:16:08,969 --> 00:16:12,973
Maybe they didn't fully understand
the process of what made it possible...
243
00:16:13,056 --> 00:16:15,642
but they would do their best to mimic it...
244
00:16:15,726 --> 00:16:19,146
and that's exactly what we see
with mummification.
245
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:24,151
[ Narrator] But if the Egyptians believed
the soul traveled through the cosmos...
246
00:16:24,234 --> 00:16:27,696
why did they make such an effort
to preserve the corpse?
247
00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:31,742
According to their texts,
the ancient Egyptians...
248
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:35,120
believed the soul was made up
of five parts.
249
00:16:35,787 --> 00:16:40,667
The two most important were
the “ba ” and “ka. ”
250
00:16:41,710 --> 00:16:44,588
The Ba journeyed into the afterlife...
251
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:47,090
while the ka remained in the body.
252
00:16:47,174 --> 00:16:50,219
The proper preparation
of a corpse during burial...
253
00:16:50,302 --> 00:16:53,055
was essential to success in the afterlife.
254
00:16:54,181 --> 00:17:00,187
That is, the ka needed a properly
prepared body in which to dwell...
255
00:17:00,270 --> 00:17:04,816
and if that body, if that vessel,
isn't properly maintained...
256
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:08,529
that person could die
a second death in the afterlife.
257
00:17:09,363 --> 00:17:11,615
[ Narrator] Most scholars say
the Egyptians believed...
258
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:16,578
resurrection involved the soul
being born again in the afterlife...
259
00:17:16,662 --> 00:17:19,665
rather than being
physically resurrected on Earth.
260
00:17:21,041 --> 00:17:26,380
The ultimate objective was for the Ba
to unite with its twin...
261
00:17:26,463 --> 00:17:28,298
or “ka” as they called it...
262
00:17:28,382 --> 00:17:32,135
and form a third entity
that they called the “Akh”-
263
00:17:33,595 --> 00:17:36,265
the shining one, the shining being...
264
00:17:36,348 --> 00:17:40,727
that was then capable of traveling
the stars as a celestial being.
265
00:17:41,395 --> 00:17:43,897
So this is suggesting
that the ancient Egyptians...
266
00:17:43,981 --> 00:17:49,069
had a very deep soul technology
or a way of transforming the soul...
267
00:17:49,152 --> 00:17:51,738
certainly prying it out of the body...
268
00:17:51,822 --> 00:17:54,199
uniting it with its twin self...
269
00:17:54,283 --> 00:17:56,618
and creating a light-being form.
270
00:17:57,744 --> 00:18:00,163
[ Narrator] But could it be
that the Egyptians believed...
271
00:18:00,247 --> 00:18:03,500
that the part of the soul
that remained within the body...
272
00:18:03,584 --> 00:18:05,877
could be resurrected as well?
273
00:18:06,587 --> 00:18:10,841
Might this be why they went to such
great lengths to preserve the body-
274
00:18:10,924 --> 00:18:13,093
because they believed
there would be a time...
275
00:18:13,176 --> 00:18:16,179
when they would be bodily resurrected
here on Earth?
276
00:18:18,265 --> 00:18:23,228
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes
and suggest further evidence...
277
00:18:23,312 --> 00:18:28,108
that this was knowledge taught to our
ancestors by otherworldly visitors...
278
00:18:28,191 --> 00:18:32,779
can be found by examining stories
from the African rain forest-
279
00:18:32,863 --> 00:18:36,533
stories of real-life zombies.
280
00:18:43,248 --> 00:18:47,002
The Kingdom of Kongo, 1482.
281
00:18:48,128 --> 00:18:51,048
Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão...
282
00:18:51,131 --> 00:18:54,259
is the first European to sail
up the Congo River...
283
00:18:54,343 --> 00:18:57,554
into the heart
of this ancient African nation.
284
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:01,975
Despite the dense rain forest
on both sides of the river...
285
00:19:02,059 --> 00:19:06,104
Cão spends months
exploring this unknown land...
286
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:08,315
and meeting its inhabitants.
287
00:19:10,984 --> 00:19:14,154
After he reports his
discoveries back home...
288
00:19:14,237 --> 00:19:18,408
the king of Portugal dispatches
waves of missionaries to the region.
289
00:19:18,492 --> 00:19:23,288
The goal is to convert tribesmen
from their ancient religion of Vodun...
290
00:19:23,372 --> 00:19:25,666
to Catholicism.
291
00:19:27,459 --> 00:19:30,587
You have to remember,
this isn't too long after the Crusades...
292
00:19:30,671 --> 00:19:35,842
so Europe had already sort of went
right from the Crusades into colonialism...
293
00:19:35,926 --> 00:19:39,429
and one of the big projects was not
just to get land and money and slaves-
294
00:19:39,513 --> 00:19:41,014
although that was it-
295
00:19:41,098 --> 00:19:44,643
but also to gain souls, converts,
for the Catholic Church.
296
00:19:47,521 --> 00:19:49,356
[ Narrator]
Over the next century...
297
00:19:49,439 --> 00:19:53,944
European missionaries had great success
turning the Kingdom of Kongo...
298
00:19:54,027 --> 00:19:56,196
into a Catholic land.
299
00:19:57,114 --> 00:20:01,118
Their belief that a sky god created
the Earth and its inhabitants...
300
00:20:01,201 --> 00:20:04,079
is changed to the Catholic origin story...
301
00:20:05,706 --> 00:20:08,959
but the locals hold on
to some of their beliefs...
302
00:20:09,042 --> 00:20:13,547
including a concept which is also held
by the ancient Egyptians-
303
00:20:13,630 --> 00:20:15,966
that people have more than one soul.
304
00:20:16,883 --> 00:20:19,511
We have what's called “the big soul”
and “the little soul”...
305
00:20:19,594 --> 00:20:23,473
and one of them is responsible for what we
normally think of as our personality-
306
00:20:23,557 --> 00:20:25,684
what makes you you,
what makes me me-
307
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:28,937
but the other one is more
of a basic sort of soul...
308
00:20:29,020 --> 00:20:31,898
that animates us;
It gets the flesh moving.
309
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:37,821
They speak of us as each having
a lesser angel and a greater angel.
310
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:41,241
At the time of death,
the lesser angel stays with the body.
311
00:20:41,324 --> 00:20:42,993
It doesn't know what to do.
312
00:20:43,076 --> 00:20:45,746
But the greater angel leaves the body.
313
00:20:50,083 --> 00:20:54,254
[ Narrator] As missionaries convert
much of the population to Christianity...
314
00:20:54,337 --> 00:20:57,591
traditional bokors, or witch doctors...
315
00:20:57,674 --> 00:21:01,219
are forced to perform
some Vodun ceremonies in secret.
316
00:21:03,096 --> 00:21:06,349
European missionaries
hear astounding stories...
317
00:21:06,433 --> 00:21:12,397
that these witch doctors use ancient rituals
and traditional knowledge to raise the dead...
318
00:21:12,481 --> 00:21:17,944
creating automatons
that are later dubbed “zombies.”
319
00:21:18,028 --> 00:21:23,116
The idea of the zombies is that they
actually have only one of these two souls.
320
00:21:23,617 --> 00:21:26,012
They've passed on, they've died,
and they've been resurrected...
321
00:21:26,036 --> 00:21:27,913
but only with the soul
that animates us...
322
00:21:27,996 --> 00:21:32,584
so they're lacking in that personality
and in that personal feelings and things.
323
00:21:32,667 --> 00:21:35,337
With zombiism, it is then-
324
00:21:35,420 --> 00:21:37,714
Only the physical body...
325
00:21:37,798 --> 00:21:41,176
is resurrected in a sense...
326
00:21:41,802 --> 00:21:46,264
and the personalities, that part of
the soul, has completely disappeared.
327
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:52,896
[ Narrator]
Could these stories have been true?
328
00:21:52,979 --> 00:21:58,777
And if so, might this be proof that both the
Egyptians and the tribes of the Kongo...
329
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:01,530
were correct in their belief
that our consciousness...
330
00:22:01,613 --> 00:22:04,366
is divided into separate parts?
331
00:22:06,076 --> 00:22:07,994
But how could witch doctors...
332
00:22:08,078 --> 00:22:12,666
who lived hundreds of years ago
with no access to modern technology...
333
00:22:12,749 --> 00:22:15,585
have been able to breathe life
into the dead...
334
00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:21,174
reviving just the part of the soul
responsible for animating the flesh?
335

Ancient astronaut theorists point out...
336
00:22:24,928 --> 00:22:27,639
that African myths
suggest voodoo magic...
337
00:22:27,722 --> 00:22:29,766
originated with the sky gods...
338
00:22:29,850 --> 00:22:34,604
and their emissaries to Earth,
known as “orishas” or “loas.”
339
00:22:35,605 --> 00:22:38,191
[Man ] The topic of the orishas
is very interesting to me...
340
00:22:38,275 --> 00:22:43,238
because they are looked upon
as these divine messengers-
341
00:22:43,321 --> 00:22:46,074
messengers of knowledge-
342
00:22:46,157 --> 00:22:48,368
and the stories are very clear...
343
00:22:48,451 --> 00:22:51,413
that the orishas arrived from the sky.
344
00:22:52,205 --> 00:22:56,668
And what I find interesting
is that in many of the old carvings...
345
00:22:56,751 --> 00:22:59,379
that we can find in wood, for example...
346
00:22:59,462 --> 00:23:04,759
they are depicted in sitting in
these weird craft, that look like craft...
347
00:23:04,843 --> 00:23:09,180
and that they all seem to feature
these elongated skulls.
348
00:23:12,017 --> 00:23:15,228
[ Narrator] Is it possible
that these African sky gods...
349
00:23:15,312 --> 00:23:17,814
were actually extraterrestrials...
350
00:23:17,898 --> 00:23:21,443
that not only taught the natives
the secrets of the soul...
351
00:23:21,526 --> 00:23:25,655
but also showed them
how to resurrect the dead?
352
00:23:25,739 --> 00:23:30,243
And could this be the origin
of our modern-day stories of zombies?
353
00:23:31,244 --> 00:23:33,121
[ Henry]
Perhaps through the centuries...
354
00:23:33,204 --> 00:23:37,083
these original teachings
of these celestial beings were lost.
355
00:23:37,167 --> 00:23:40,337
Sorcerers and magicians
in Africa and elsewhere...
356
00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:44,591
began mimicking or trying to copy
what the originals had done...
357
00:23:44,674 --> 00:23:47,093
and had a limited degree of success.
358
00:23:47,177 --> 00:23:49,054
They were able to create zombies.
359
00:23:49,137 --> 00:23:50,764
But the source is clear:
360
00:23:50,847 --> 00:23:54,434
These teachings originally came
from celestial beings.
361
00:23:55,101 --> 00:23:58,605
[Man] Maybe some of
the extraterrestrials had an accident...
362
00:23:58,688 --> 00:24:03,068
so the extraterrestrials helped him,
like a doctor would do today...
363
00:24:03,151 --> 00:24:05,278
and the natives watched it.
364
00:24:05,362 --> 00:24:07,739
They could not understand
what was going on in medicine...
365
00:24:07,822 --> 00:24:09,491
and they copied it.
366
00:24:11,785 --> 00:24:16,414
[ Narrator] Were African witch doctors
mimicking the technology of their sky gods...
367
00:24:16,498 --> 00:24:19,626
when they tried to bring the dead
back to life?
368
00:24:20,794 --> 00:24:24,839
And if so, are there stories
in which both parts of the soul...
369
00:24:24,923 --> 00:24:27,592
have been successfully resurrected?
370
00:24:28,718 --> 00:24:32,389
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
further evidence can be found...
371
00:24:32,472 --> 00:24:35,141
by exploring ancient Hindu beliefs...
372
00:24:35,225 --> 00:24:39,521
in which the conscious self
can be reborn in a new body.
373
00:24:47,529 --> 00:24:50,073
Delhi, India, 1930.
374
00:24:52,993 --> 00:24:57,288
Four-year-old Shanti Devi tells her family
that in a previous life...
375
00:24:57,372 --> 00:24:59,499
she was a woman named Lugdi Bai...
376
00:24:59,582 --> 00:25:03,461
and that she had lived
in the nearby village of Muthura.
377
00:25:05,505 --> 00:25:09,092
At first they dismissed the story
as a childhood fantasy...
378
00:25:09,175 --> 00:25:11,678
but she knows so much
about this other world...
379
00:25:11,761 --> 00:25:15,056
that she eventually convinces them
she's telling the truth...
380
00:25:15,140 --> 00:25:18,143
and they journey
to Lugdi Bai's former village.
381
00:25:18,226 --> 00:25:23,690
[CHILDRESS] She actually went to meet
her previous husband and her other wife.
382
00:25:23,773 --> 00:25:25,859
He also, after talking to her...
383
00:25:25,942 --> 00:25:30,613
believed that she was the reincarnation
of his previous wife...
384
00:25:30,697 --> 00:25:32,699
who had died in childbirth.
385
00:25:32,782 --> 00:25:38,038
And then, eventually, Mahatma Gandhi
got involved in this whole story.
386
00:25:38,121 --> 00:25:40,749
He had an investigation made...
387
00:25:40,832 --> 00:25:44,252
and Gandhi himself
said that he was satisfied...
388
00:25:44,335 --> 00:25:48,631
that she was the reincarnation
of this other woman.
389
00:25:50,508 --> 00:25:56,056
[ Narrator] Could Lugdi Bai have died
and been reincarnated as Shanti Devi?
390
00:25:57,348 --> 00:26:00,143
The Hindu faithful believe reincarnation-
391
00:26:00,226 --> 00:26:04,856
a spiritual resurrection in which a soul
is reborn in a new body-
392
00:26:04,939 --> 00:26:08,234
happens to almost everyone after death.
393
00:26:09,069 --> 00:26:14,115
[Man ] When the soul goes up and then
it has to be born into something else...
394
00:26:14,199 --> 00:26:15,742
in another light life form...
395
00:26:15,825 --> 00:26:21,247
so then it comes back to Earth
in another living form.
396
00:26:21,331 --> 00:26:24,209
So that is the idea of reincarnation.
397
00:26:26,211 --> 00:26:29,798
[Henry] In Hindu and other traditions,
the body is viewed simply...
398
00:26:29,881 --> 00:26:31,716
as a vessel for the soul...
399
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,637
that's capable of reincarnating
into successive bodies...
400
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,222
or successive lifetimes.
401
00:26:40,058 --> 00:26:44,771
[ Narrator] If the concept that the part of our
consciousness that forms our personality...
402
00:26:44,854 --> 00:26:46,815
that makes us who we are...
403
00:26:46,898 --> 00:26:49,818
continues to exist after
the body has died...
404
00:26:49,901 --> 00:26:53,613
then might many of us
have lived past lives...
405
00:26:54,989 --> 00:26:57,784
and only a handful of people,
like Shanti Devi...
406
00:26:57,867 --> 00:26:59,744
are able to remember them?
407
00:27:01,621 --> 00:27:05,250
Some believe that not only
is reincarnation real. ..
408
00:27:05,333 --> 00:27:06,876
But that in certain cases...
409
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,797
there has even been physical evidence
to support this.
410
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,175
When we examine
the reincarnation research...
411
00:27:14,259 --> 00:27:16,261
a consistent theme emerges...
412
00:27:16,344 --> 00:27:20,098
regarding the existence
of birthmarks on someone's body.
413
00:27:20,181 --> 00:27:26,146
What we've found is multiple cases
of people who have bizarre birthmarks...
414
00:27:26,229 --> 00:27:30,733
who then accurately remember having been
someone else in another lifetime...
415
00:27:30,817 --> 00:27:34,404
and in some of these cases
we can confirm...
416
00:27:34,487 --> 00:27:38,658
that their past-life person
died in a particular way...
417
00:27:38,741 --> 00:27:42,829
and they come back with a birthmark
corresponding to that exact area.
418
00:27:45,331 --> 00:27:48,960
If they died by gunshot, we know where
the gunshot wound took place.
419
00:27:49,043 --> 00:27:51,754
The person reincarnates
and they have a birthmark...
420
00:27:51,838 --> 00:27:54,757
right where the gunshot
actually entered.
421
00:27:57,343 --> 00:27:59,429
[ Narrator]
Is it possible that a birthmark...
422
00:27:59,512 --> 00:28:03,433
could be the consciousness
creating a physical manifestation...
423
00:28:03,516 --> 00:28:07,187
of a traumatic event
that happened in a previous life?
424
00:28:09,355 --> 00:28:11,232
Proponents of reincarnation...
425
00:28:11,316 --> 00:28:15,820
say further evidence that our consciousness
can be resurrected in another body...
426
00:28:15,904 --> 00:28:18,823
can be found in the fact
that reincarnation...
427
00:28:18,907 --> 00:28:21,159
isn't just part of Eastern religions...
428
00:28:21,242 --> 00:28:23,411
like Hinduism and Buddhism.
429
00:28:24,287 --> 00:28:27,832
It appears in most
ancient religions worldwide.
430
00:28:29,250 --> 00:28:34,881
Early Greek religion had a process-
a belief-in reincarnation.
431
00:28:34,964 --> 00:28:37,550
Plato writes about it in his writings-
432
00:28:37,634 --> 00:28:40,386
that the soul would enter into the body...
433
00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:43,348
and then when you died,
the soul would be reprocessed...
434
00:28:43,431 --> 00:28:45,892
and then would enter back into a body.
435
00:28:47,435 --> 00:28:50,521
[Man] In the Bible, Jesus says,
“Who do you say that I am?”
436
00:28:50,605 --> 00:28:52,398
“Some people say you're John the Baptist.
437
00:28:52,482 --> 00:28:54,525
Some people say you're Elijah.
438
00:28:54,609 --> 00:28:56,986
Some people say you're Jeremiah.”
439
00:28:57,070 --> 00:28:59,530
Well, those people are all dead...
440
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:04,619
so what they're saying is,
“You've come back as this person.”
441
00:29:04,702 --> 00:29:07,163
That's what reincarnation is about.
442
00:29:11,251 --> 00:29:13,253
[ Narrator]
In each of these religions...
443
00:29:13,336 --> 00:29:17,382
the gods are the ones that educated
people about reincarnation.
444
00:29:18,216 --> 00:29:21,261
Is it possible
that the ancients misunderstood...
445
00:29:21,344 --> 00:29:24,389
who had bestowed this knowledge
on their societies...
446
00:29:24,472 --> 00:29:27,392
and that they were actually
extraterrestrial beings...
447
00:29:27,475 --> 00:29:30,770
sharing their wisdom about the afterlife?
448
00:29:31,938 --> 00:29:37,151
[Henry] Ultimately, when you trace back the
origins of the stories of reincarnation...
449
00:29:37,235 --> 00:29:40,029
you're led to extraterrestrial sources.
450
00:29:40,113 --> 00:29:42,740
This was a teaching that
was brought here...
451
00:29:42,824 --> 00:29:46,869
and represents the ultimate
spiritual attainment on Earth.
452
00:29:48,788 --> 00:29:51,874
[WILCOCK ] We have over 30
ancient cultures around the world...
453
00:29:51,958 --> 00:29:55,586
independently contacted
by human-looking messengers...
454
00:29:55,670 --> 00:30:00,466
who give them a unified body
of spiritual knowledge...
455
00:30:00,550 --> 00:30:05,763
which usually describes reincarnation-
456
00:30:05,847 --> 00:30:10,184
the transmigration of the soul
from one physical incarnation to the next-
457
00:30:10,268 --> 00:30:11,769
as a reality.
458
00:30:13,980 --> 00:30:16,232
[ Narrator]
Could it be that celestial beings...
459
00:30:16,316 --> 00:30:19,110
have mastered the science
of reincarnation...
460
00:30:19,193 --> 00:30:23,406
to the point where they treat death
as just another form of life?
461
00:30:25,825 --> 00:30:30,580
And if so, are these aliens helping nurture
our understanding...
462
00:30:30,663 --> 00:30:33,416
of this otherworldly realm?
463
00:30:33,499 --> 00:30:37,378
If resurrections are really
a resurrection of the spirit...
464
00:30:37,462 --> 00:30:39,130
rather than the body...
465
00:30:39,922 --> 00:30:43,718
then it's possible that we would have
a technology to follow that spirit...
466
00:30:43,801 --> 00:30:46,137
from one body to the next.
467
00:30:47,597 --> 00:30:50,808
And you have to wonder if this
doesn't come from extraterrestrials.
468
00:30:54,354 --> 00:30:56,898
[ Narrator] Could extraterrestrials
have the ultimate answers...
469
00:30:56,981 --> 00:31:00,318
to life, death and resurrection?
470
00:31:00,401 --> 00:31:04,947
And if so, will humanity
ever possess those secrets?
471
00:31:05,031 --> 00:31:09,243
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
some people may already have that...
472
00:31:09,327 --> 00:31:11,704
without even knowing it.
473
00:31:20,296 --> 00:31:23,966
Northern Israel,
approximately 33 AD.
474
00:31:26,552 --> 00:31:29,889
According to the gospels
of the New Testament of the Bible...
475
00:31:29,972 --> 00:31:31,974
in the months before his death...
476
00:31:32,058 --> 00:31:36,646
Jesus leads three of his apostles away from
the village in which they're staying...
477
00:31:36,729 --> 00:31:40,149
and together, they journey
to a nearby mountain.
478
00:31:42,235 --> 00:31:44,835
[Downing ] The story here is that
Jesus went up a high mountain...
479
00:31:44,862 --> 00:31:46,948
with Peter, James and john...
480
00:31:47,031 --> 00:31:50,159
his three closest followers.
481
00:31:50,243 --> 00:31:53,579
So while they were there,
a glowing object hovered over them...
482
00:31:53,663 --> 00:31:57,166
and Moses and Elijah were reported
to have appeared to him.
483
00:31:58,084 --> 00:32:03,005
While they were there, the body of Jesus
began to glow tremendously...
484
00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:06,592
and when they were finished with
this scene they went down the mountain...
485
00:32:06,676 --> 00:32:09,929
and Jesus told the disciples
not to tell anybody about this...
486
00:32:10,012 --> 00:32:13,558
until after his crucifixion
and resurrection.
487
00:32:13,641 --> 00:32:16,018
This says to me
that maybe the body of Jesus...
488
00:32:16,102 --> 00:32:18,604
went through some type
of transformation...
489
00:32:18,688 --> 00:32:23,693
which changed his body
so that when he rose from the dead...
490
00:32:23,776 --> 00:32:27,029
it would be a body
that would never die again.
491
00:32:30,533 --> 00:32:31,993
[ Narrator]
According to the Bible...
492
00:32:32,076 --> 00:32:34,662
it was several months
after this incident...
493
00:32:34,745 --> 00:32:37,457
that Roman authorities arrested Jesus...
494
00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:40,543
and put him to death by crucifixion.
495
00:32:41,461 --> 00:32:44,005
[Woman ] We know following
the crucifixion on Friday night...
496
00:32:44,088 --> 00:32:46,299
he is laid into a tomb.
497
00:32:46,382 --> 00:32:52,138
On Sunday, when Mary Magdalene and
the other women come to anoint his body...
498
00:32:52,221 --> 00:32:53,723
the tomb is empty.
499
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,228
The stone has been rolled back
and his burial cloths are all that remain.
500
00:33:04,108 --> 00:33:07,820
[ Narrator ] Although Jesus is said
to have ascended to a heavenly realm...
501
00:33:07,904 --> 00:33:11,157
it is written that he ascended bodily.
502
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,243
This has led some
ancient astronaut theorists...
503
00:33:14,327 --> 00:33:17,413
to form a different interpretation
of the scriptures...
504
00:33:17,497 --> 00:33:21,918
based also on events that occurred
just after the resurrection...
505
00:33:22,001 --> 00:33:26,214
that indicate it may have had
extraterrestrial origins.
506
00:33:27,423 --> 00:33:29,759
[ Downing]
Matthew's gospel, chapter 28...
507
00:33:29,842 --> 00:33:33,429
says that an angel of God
descended from heaven...
508
00:33:33,513 --> 00:33:35,932
rolled back the stone and sat upon it...
509
00:33:36,015 --> 00:33:39,101
and his clothing glistened white.
510
00:33:39,185 --> 00:33:42,104
And so, we have a being
reported to be there.
511
00:33:42,188 --> 00:33:44,607
This means that powers
from another world...
512
00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:47,443
were involved
in the resurrection of Jesus.
513
00:33:47,527 --> 00:33:50,696
People come to the tomb.
They find the tomb empty.
514
00:33:50,780 --> 00:33:56,285
They're described in a couple of the gospels:
Young men with raiment that was shining...
515
00:33:56,369 --> 00:33:59,372
much like
extraterrestrial encounters today...
516
00:33:59,455 --> 00:34:01,958
where we see beings of light.
517
00:34:02,792 --> 00:34:05,711
And they say, “Why are you seeking
the living among the dead?
518
00:34:05,795 --> 00:34:08,381
Jesus is gone.
Just like he said would happen.”
519
00:34:11,175 --> 00:34:12,885
[ Narrator]
Many Christians believe...
520
00:34:12,969 --> 00:34:15,513
this seminal resurrection
in Western culture...
521
00:34:15,596 --> 00:34:19,600
signifies that humans can-
and many eventually will-
522
00:34:19,684 --> 00:34:21,477
be raised from the dead.
523
00:34:21,561 --> 00:34:24,438
But does it actually give humanity clues...
524
00:34:24,522 --> 00:34:28,276
about how to pierce the veil
between life and death?
525
00:34:29,068 --> 00:34:31,654
Some ancient astronaut theorists say...
526
00:34:31,737 --> 00:34:34,824
that further evidence
that resurrection is possible...
527
00:34:34,907 --> 00:34:38,411
can be found
in the modern-day church service.
528
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:47,461
St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City.
529
00:34:48,921 --> 00:34:51,799
Give us perseverance
and lead us to salvation.
530
00:34:51,882 --> 00:34:54,176
Cardinal Timothy Dolan says mass...
531
00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:57,805
at one of America's
most impressive Catholic churches...
532
00:34:59,765 --> 00:35:04,854
and during the Eucharist,
he consecrates bread and wine.
533
00:35:04,937 --> 00:35:06,814
According to church doctrine...
534
00:35:06,897 --> 00:35:12,528
at this moment he is literally turning them
into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
535
00:35:14,030 --> 00:35:18,034
Cardinal Dolan, or any other priest
who performs this ritual...
536
00:35:18,117 --> 00:35:21,579
is actually performing a resurrection.
537
00:35:24,206 --> 00:35:27,501
The Catholic doctrine
of transubstantiation argues...
538
00:35:27,585 --> 00:35:30,588
that this is a miracle,
the Eucharist is a miracle.
539
00:35:31,255 --> 00:35:33,633
When you partake
of the bread and the wine...
540
00:35:33,716 --> 00:35:36,052
that it miraculously transforms...
541
00:35:36,135 --> 00:35:39,722
into the actual body and blood of Jesus.
542
00:35:42,475 --> 00:35:47,480
We then ingest the holy,
we ingest Christ, incorporate.
543
00:35:47,563 --> 00:35:49,065
Play on the word.
544
00:35:49,148 --> 00:35:52,985
That is, make part of our corpus,
part of our body, the divine...
545
00:35:53,069 --> 00:35:54,612
in this ritual form.
546
00:35:54,695 --> 00:35:57,198
It is a powerful activity.
547
00:35:59,408 --> 00:36:03,454
[ Narrator] But how can bread and wine
be changed into flesh and blood?
548
00:36:04,413 --> 00:36:06,207
According to the Catholic Church...
549
00:36:06,290 --> 00:36:09,919
it's a mystery that humans
cannot possibly unravel.
550
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:14,757
But some believe that instead
of a physical transformation...
551
00:36:15,675 --> 00:36:20,012
Jesus is resurrected metaphysically
during the church service...
552
00:36:20,888 --> 00:36:23,516
that Jesus was, and still is...
553
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:28,020
an advanced being that can move
from one dimension to another.
554
00:36:29,605 --> 00:36:33,317
As evidence, they cite
what Jesus told his followers...
555
00:36:33,401 --> 00:36:37,780
about the power of gathering in groups
to invoke his name.
556
00:36:39,699 --> 00:36:44,370
[Young] Christ said, “Where two or more
are gathered in my name, there I am also.”
557
00:36:44,453 --> 00:36:47,957
Something happens,
and it happens in ritual worship-
558
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,959
collective worship.
559
00:36:50,042 --> 00:36:54,588
Now, I'm not putting aside the power
and value of private spiritual practice...
560
00:36:54,672 --> 00:36:58,592
but there's something else that happens
when this is done collectively.
561
00:36:59,802 --> 00:37:03,055
[Henry] Is this a form of resurrection
as well, where they, in fact...
562
00:37:03,139 --> 00:37:07,309
then, in a way,
embody the Christ energy...
563
00:37:07,393 --> 00:37:08,894
during the mass?
564
00:37:08,978 --> 00:37:12,565
So maybe this is the purpose of the mass,
is to create this environment...
565
00:37:12,648 --> 00:37:16,235
where they can transform their body
into a vehicle...
566
00:37:16,318 --> 00:37:20,322
capable of manifesting,
or holding, the Christ energy.
567
00:37:24,618 --> 00:37:27,830
[ Narrator] Is it possible
that worshipers around the world...
568
00:37:27,913 --> 00:37:30,624
actually resurrect an otherworldly being...
569
00:37:30,708 --> 00:37:32,835
every time they gather to pray?
570
00:37:33,711 --> 00:37:37,548
And if so, is this just
a resurrection of the spirit...
571
00:37:37,631 --> 00:37:40,259
or could we eventually
reanimate the body...
572
00:37:40,342 --> 00:37:43,053
so it can be reunited with the soul?
573
00:37:44,054 --> 00:37:48,058
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
stunning advances in modern medicine...
574
00:37:48,142 --> 00:37:50,311
might soon make this possible.
575
00:38:00,237 --> 00:38:04,408
Tübingen, Germany, 2013.
576
00:38:05,534 --> 00:38:10,372
Scientists at the University of Tübingen
report a landmark event.
577
00:38:10,456 --> 00:38:13,167
They have sequenced and decoded DNA...
578
00:38:13,250 --> 00:38:16,295
that was extracted
from five Egyptian mummy heads.
579
00:38:17,338 --> 00:38:21,383
Somehow, the way the ancient Egyptians
embalmed the bodies of their dead...
580
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:25,471
allowed DNA to survive
for thousands of years.
581
00:38:25,554 --> 00:38:27,640
One of the things that happens
in mummification...
582
00:38:27,723 --> 00:38:30,768
is that they rapidly
extract all the water...
583
00:38:30,851 --> 00:38:33,979
and it's thought that water actually
is one of the major contributors...
584
00:38:34,063 --> 00:38:35,981
to the degradation of the DNA.
585
00:38:36,065 --> 00:38:39,151
So that rapid extraction of water
was believed to protect the mummy...
586
00:38:39,235 --> 00:38:41,028
from DNA degradation.
587
00:38:43,113 --> 00:38:46,867
[ Narrator] Researchers have not yet found
a complete set of genetic blueprints...
588
00:38:46,951 --> 00:38:49,578
to the ancient Egyptian body...
589
00:38:50,162 --> 00:38:54,416
but this material shows them
that if they do find enough DNA...
590
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:58,587
they can, in theory,
bring these people back to life...
591
00:38:58,671 --> 00:39:01,090
to physically resurrect them.
592
00:39:02,049 --> 00:39:06,345
If we have the physical
remains of a corpse...
593
00:39:06,428 --> 00:39:10,266
it might be possible
to resurrect this corpse literally-
594
00:39:11,684 --> 00:39:14,103
to regenerate the DNA.
595
00:39:14,186 --> 00:39:16,772
Now, the process
would be extremely difficult...
596
00:39:16,856 --> 00:39:18,691
but the technology is on its way...
597
00:39:19,775 --> 00:39:21,235
and that will be amazing.
598
00:39:21,318 --> 00:39:24,613
I mean, we would-They would
literally have achieved their objective-
599
00:39:24,697 --> 00:39:28,158
to be resurrected again.
600
00:39:30,578 --> 00:39:32,037
[ Narrator] Is it possible...
601
00:39:32,121 --> 00:39:34,874
that scientists are finally
starting to unravel...
602
00:39:34,957 --> 00:39:36,959
the secrets to resurrection?
603
00:39:37,835 --> 00:39:41,881
And if so, can humanity
eventually master this power...
604
00:39:41,964 --> 00:39:45,759
so we can bring bodies and souls
back into the physical world...
605
00:39:45,843 --> 00:39:47,344
whenever we choose?
606
00:39:48,220 --> 00:39:50,806
Some ancient astronaut theorists suggest...
607
00:39:50,890 --> 00:39:55,853
that many religions describe the moment
when humans reach this stage of evolution.
608
00:39:56,896 --> 00:39:59,315
It's variously called “the rapture”...
609
00:39:59,398 --> 00:40:01,108
“the day of judgment”...
610
00:40:01,191 --> 00:40:02,860
“end of days”...
611
00:40:02,943 --> 00:40:04,820
or “the Apocalypse.”
612
00:40:08,198 --> 00:40:10,242
[Tzadok]
According to the legends...
613
00:40:10,326 --> 00:40:16,999
all humanity is to evolve
into a higher form.
614
00:40:17,082 --> 00:40:20,252
The proper word
would be “transformation”...
615
00:40:20,336 --> 00:40:23,172
wherein which we will have achieved
the purpose...
616
00:40:23,255 --> 00:40:26,091
for which we have come to Earth
in the first place.
617
00:40:27,259 --> 00:40:30,763
But that, in and of itself,
is not the end of the road.
618
00:40:30,846 --> 00:40:33,015
Then we evolve beyond that.
619
00:40:33,098 --> 00:40:35,893
This is referred to
as “the great resurrection.”
620
00:40:37,186 --> 00:40:39,188
[TSOUKALOS]
One thing is crystal clear:
621
00:40:39,271 --> 00:40:43,692
In all of the ancient texts,
those gods promised to return.
622
00:40:44,610 --> 00:40:50,491
Not just in the Bible, but in many
of the ancient sacred texts.
623
00:40:51,742 --> 00:40:55,287
[ Narrator] Could the end of days
that most religions foresee...
624
00:40:55,371 --> 00:41:00,876
actually be the time when humanity
discovers the secret to resurrection...
625
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,799
allowing everyone to move between
physical and spiritual planes of existence?
626
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:13,973
And if so, will this realm be the place where
we finally meet the extraterrestrials...
627
00:41:14,056 --> 00:41:17,184
that ancient astronaut theorists
say visited the Earth...
628
00:41:17,267 --> 00:41:19,853
thousands of years ago?
629
00:41:24,024 --> 00:41:26,443
The idea of resurrection...
630
00:41:26,527 --> 00:41:30,990
or rebirth into a new realm of existence,
a new kingdom of heaven...
631
00:41:31,073 --> 00:41:35,953
was central to our interaction with
the celestials or extraterrestrial beings.
632
00:41:36,036 --> 00:41:38,956
You could almost make the argument
that that's why they came here...
633
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:43,168
was to teach us how
to resurrect ourselves, our bodies...
634
00:41:43,252 --> 00:41:46,714
to transform our bodies
into a celestial form...
635
00:41:46,797 --> 00:41:48,799
a light-body form.
636
00:41:49,717 --> 00:41:53,721
We find a direct through line
connecting extraterrestrials, angels...
637
00:41:53,804 --> 00:41:56,056
and the near-death experience.
638
00:41:57,016 --> 00:42:00,853
There is a compelling suggestion
that at the end of days...
639
00:42:00,936 --> 00:42:03,647
the veil between realities
will be parted...
640
00:42:03,731 --> 00:42:05,733
and we will gain the capability...
641
00:42:05,816 --> 00:42:12,072
of moving directly between the world of the
living and the world of the afterlife.
642
00:42:12,156 --> 00:42:13,717
[TSOUKALOS]
I don't think it is anything...
643
00:42:13,741 --> 00:42:19,204
that we should look upon with dread,
but with joy...
644
00:42:19,288 --> 00:42:21,707
because it means we're not alone...
645
00:42:21,790 --> 00:42:25,002
and, you know, they're there with us.
646
00:42:27,588 --> 00:42:29,899
[ Narrator] Might we really have souls
that exist in a realm...
647
00:42:29,923 --> 00:42:33,135
that can be accessed
by otherworldly beings?
648
00:42:34,970 --> 00:42:39,850
And if so, could stories involving
the second coming of prophets...
649
00:42:41,143 --> 00:42:43,103
the reanimation of the dead...
650
00:42:44,146 --> 00:42:46,899
and the close encounters of those
on the brink of death...
651
00:42:46,982 --> 00:42:51,653
be evidence that extraterrestrials
hold the secret to resurrection?
652
00:42:53,489 --> 00:42:57,451
Perhaps as we come to better understand
our own mortality...
653
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,538
we too will uncover the mysteries
of the afterlife...
654
00:43:01,622 --> 00:43:05,250
and in the process, discover the truth...
655
00:43:05,334 --> 00:43:08,253
about our alien origins.
